A glimpse inside Prince Charles' Highgrove home with its extraordinary garden The Prince of Wales describes here how he has created one of the great gardens of our time. When he bought Highgrove House in 1981, the surroundings consisted of a brown path which ran around the house, a lawn, and a few thorn bushes. He explains how he has transformed the land adjoining the house into several exquisite gardens which embody his gardening ideals and organic principles. He discusses how—with help from some of Britain's finest designers, including The Marchioness of Salisbury, Rosemary Verey, Miriam Rothschild, and Sir Roy Strong—he has created highly individual gardens which have now, with his own ideas, reached maturity. He describes the thinking behind each garden, the mistakes and the triumphs, and his plans for the future. Lavishly illustrated with photographs which capture both the scope and detail of each garden, this book will delight and inspire both gardeners and horticulturalists at every level. It also features planting lists and information on the organic principles on which the garden is run.

Maraca is an uninhabited and largely unexplored tropical island in Brazil, at the heart of South America. In this stunningly illustrated book, John Hemming, author of several highly praised books on the exploration and history of Amazonia, and James Ratter, Britain's leading tropical botanist, describe with clarity of scholarship and wonderful evocation of place one of the largest multidisciplinary research projects ever organized in Amazonia: the Maraca Rainforest Project. Maraca combines personal anecdotes of the researchers inspiring and often dangerous experiences in the area with fascinating documentation of every aspect of the island's natural environment: its exotic vegetation, animals, insects, habitats and history.

"The Parks and Gardens of Cornwall" is the most comprehensive survey of the subject for any county in England. Some 440 sites are grouped into districts centred on the principal towns, and arranged to correspond with the Ordnance Survey Landranger maps. The descriptions will interest local and garden historians, and all those who wish to know something of the families, architects and social background, as well as the designers who created the gardens of Cornwall. The survey is richly illustrated with historic prints - many never previously reproduced - including sketches by Prideaux (1716-27); plates from the histories of Borlase (1758) and Gilbert (1820), and from Twycross' exceedingly scarce "Mansions of Cornwall".

From the Prince of Wales, an intimate guide to his Royal gardens and pioneering organic approach to creating world-class beauty. For twenty-six years, the Prince of Wales has passionately honed the organic practices used at Highgrove, Their Royal Highnesses' family home in Gloucestershire, as well as in his other gardens at Birkhall in the Scottish Highlands and Clarence House in central London. Now, alongside Andrew Lawson's elegant photographs and with Country Living gardening editor Stephanie Donaldson, the Prince's vivid elucidation of his techniques for maintaining healthy soil, planting varieties, and sustaining an ecosystem "in harmony with the natural laws and rhythms of the universe of which we are an integral part" offers a wealth of wisdom to delight and inspire any gardener. His practices, based on a deep respect for nature, can be adapted to almost any garden, large or small. The Prince is hands-on in his gardens, and it is this passion that reveals itself intimately to be at the heart of The Elements of Organic Gardening. 200 full-color photographs.

The late Sir Harry Secombe was known and loved throughout the world as a comedian, singer, and Goon, and his death in 2001 prompted many tributes to his great talent and kindness. He also proved himself to be a writer of considerable wit and caliber, with two bestselling novels and the highly praised first and second volumes of his autobiography, entitled Arias and Raspberries and Strawberries and Cheam. An Entertaining Life brings together both volumes of Harry Secombe's autobiography—covering his childhood, the war, Variety, the Goons and on—and includes an additional section covering the last few years of his life. This commemorative volume, funny and moving by turn, encapsulates the perceptions of one of Britain's foremost entertainers and illustrates why he became so well-loved.
